The difference of S45 in the totals above is caused by dona- ton paid to the teacher at Thatcher, not included in the re- ceipts but added to the expendl- lures.
 The total valuation of school property in the county is placed at S7,962.30.
 The Superintendent closes his report with the following remarks:
 "The progress made by the schools of this county during the past year is very gratifying One school building has been complet- ed and another constructed, leav ing but five districts without suit able accommodations, and one of these has sufficient funds on hand with which to erect a school house and another has voted specIal box for this purpose. Three new school districts have been estab- lished, one by the subdivision of old districts and two in sections of the county that never had any school facilities, owing to the popu- lation not justifying it. The alb sence of grammar schools is due to the fact that when children at tain that age which would justify higher grade studies their services are generally required by their parents. This is to be expected in such county as ours, where the majority of ihe population is, com paratively speaking, poor; but time will change this"

COUNTY sCHOOL REPORT.

From the annual report of J. T. Fitzgerald, Superintendent of Public Schools for Graham county, we are permitted to make the following interesting extracts:
 Schools are maintained in the following districts: Stafford 2, Duncan. Clifton, Thatcher, Solo, monville, Pima ?, Thomas, Ora ham, Grant, San Jose, Curtis, Cen tral and Aravaipa. Tho districts at Grant and Aravaipa were form ed in April last, and no reports from tue schools were received. The total number of pupils regis tered in the various districts was 692, of which 337 were boys and 355 girls. Twenty-four pupils were enrolled in the grammar grade, the balance in tho primary The average number belonging to the different schools was 405. with a daily average attendance of 339. There are 223 volumes in the school libraries. The number of children in the county between the ages of 6 and s, according to the last census report, was 1904. The average number of months school was maintained was 63 and the average monthly salary paid to teachers S76.03.
 The total receipts and expendi- lures of the various districts were as follows:

The St. Johns Herald gives the
 particulars of desperate fight at
 Holbrook, Apache county. between
 Sheriff Owens and a gang of cattle
 thieves who have long been ter
 TOT to the law abiding citizens of
 Yavapai and Apache counties,
 and who had openly defed arrest.
 It seems that Owens, armed with
 a warrant for Andy Cooper's ar rest, went to John Bleven's house
 to secure his man. Cooper resist. ed and was killed. John Blevins then fired upon Owens, and he in turn was shot. Roberts appeared from the corner of the house and was in turn laid out. Young Blevins then sprang out and fired his little pop, and was killed on the spot; thus ended the bloody day in Holhrock. To sum up the casualties, Andy Cooper and Sam uel Blevens, half brothers, were killed; John Blevens and Nose Roberts wounded, the former slightly and the latter mortally. The Herald says: "Too much credit cannot be given Sheriff Owens in this lamentable affair. 1t required more than ordinary courage for man to go slngle- handed and alone to a house where it was known there were four or five desperate men inside, and de- mand the surrender of one of them. And when one takes into that the combatants were separated by only a few feet at the commencement of the diff culty, it seems miraculous that Mir. Owens should come out of it uninjured. Outside of a few men. and very few at that, Owens is supported by every man, woman and child in town"

The Globe-Democrat wants to know why it is, if cattle cannot be raised at a profit, because of the unprecedently low prices at which they must be sold, that consumers have to pay as much for their beef as when cattle-raising was one of the most profitable industries of the country. If the supply is so much larger than the demand that cattle cannot be disposed of at rates which will justify sending them to market, then surely there is no good reason why the butchers should continue to exact the high prices that prevailed years ago when they were obliged to pay two or three times as much as they now do for their stock.

-as pinned to his desk by a water

was pinned to his desk by water barrel caroming on him. Little fields mouth was mashed and hls shoulder damned when the engine turned over. Frank Blaney, the fireman, didn't even get scratched, but has no recollection how he left the engine, as tue last thing he remembers before the collision was that he was in the act of put ting in a shovel of coal. If 19 had come along fifteen seconds sooner or later there would have been a sure-enough slaughter of human beings that is horrible to even think of. Your correspond ent sought the opinion of several railroad men as to whom was to blame. Some thought that Little field was under the impression that p was side tracked and that the main line was clear, or he would have slowed up; others were reticent ana would say noth ing. But the conductor (Gilles- pie) of the passenger train 19 says that Littlefield was to blame, as he was running so recklessly that he (Gillespie) had to ring him down and threaten to side-track the train if he ran above twenty-five miles an hour. This was just be- fore the collision.
 Through the courtesy of Con- ductor Taylor the writer went to the scene of the wreck. The en- zine and cars mentioned were de- molished. The engine laid on top of about half of the mules that were killed in fact, more hete- rogeneous mass, consisting of dead mules, carwheels, splinters of both iron and wood, twisted rails, coke and flour, can possibly be con ceived, but not described. Charley App took his photographing ap- paratus to the wreck and took sev- eral views. QUID NUNC.

In a recent interview with q re- porter of the New York World, President Cleveland made the following remarks touching the question of his desire for a rencm- ination:@"It seems to be a uni versal belief that a president must desire renomination. I can't understand how 6 man who has served one term could have per sonal ambition in securing a sec ond term with all its solemn re- responsibilities, its harrassing duties and its constant and grievous ex- actions upon his mental and phys ical strength. His consent, It seems to me to accept a second term, should rest only upon his sense of solemn obligation as citizen, and an appreciation of his duty when called upon to bear his particular part of the burden of citizenship. Thus the office can have lat least it can have for mel no personal allurement. I hope my present term may be conclud- cd with profit to the country and with few mistakes on my own part as are incident to infallible human nature"
